Class of 2025. I think this message is important to share with you before your senior year of Football. You don’t realize it now but someday you will. It’s going to be one of the most amazing times of your life. You’re going to have a town, a community following you and watching your every move. Take a look around, see all the kids that show up to support you. You were once one of those little kids that played football during the game, looking at the boys on the field as if they were Gods. Thank your family and support system for supporting you to become the player you are now. They went thru a lot to get you here, you didn’t do this alone. Tell them that because at the end of the day they are the ones that will be there for you after all this passes. They believe in you. I’m 35 years old and I still think about it often. The memories you have with your brothers and what you achieve because of the hard work you put in for years and years. Do all you can to leave everything on the field. Become the leader you once saw from an older teammate. Sit down and look around from time to time, take in the moments for they will be memories you’ll have for a lifetime. Focus on your team now, not recruiting. This is the best team sport in the world. It’s time to focus like there is no tomorrow, you never know when there is no tomorrow in your football playing career. ✌🏼
